Connect over SSH

Get connection details

Use the SSH address and Linux username shown for your VM in conso.sh. Confirm your username and allowed SSH credentials during setup. The examples assume port 22 and an Ubuntu or Debian-like guest. Replace values in angle brackets, including the brackets. If conso.sh shows a port other than 22, include it with -p <port>.

Verify the host key

Before first login, obtain the server’s host-key fingerprint through a trusted channel such as the authenticated console for your VM. On a guest with an Ed25519 host key, run the following in that console.

sudo ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub

From your own terminal, connect and compare the key type and SHA256 fingerprint shown by SSH against the fingerprint you verified. Accept the key only if they match.

ssh <user>@<vm-host>

If SSH warns that the identity changed, stop and check whether the VM was rebuilt, replaced or given a new address. Verify the new fingerprint independently before removing an old known-hosts entry. Keep strict host-key checking enabled. For key setup see Manage access and secrets.
